  • Enhanced processing circuit for spectrometry system and spectrometry system using same
    Patent number: 7388210
    Abstract: This is a processing circuit for a spectrometry chain including a particle radiation detector (21), including a charge preamplifier stage (20) receiving a current (I1) from the detector, representative of the amount of charges emitted by a particle which has interacted with the detector, and an integrator stage (26). A differentiator stage (25) is connected between the charge preamplifier stage (20) and the integrator stage (26), the differentiator stage (25) receiving a signal (V1) from the charge preamplifier stage (20) and delivering to the integrator stage (26), a signal (V2), image of the detector current (I1), the integrator stage (26) delivering, an image (V3) of the amount of charges emitted by a particle which has interacted with the detector. Application notably to the high energy single channel probes.

  • Enhanced processing circuit for spectrometry system and spectrometry system using same
    Publication number: 20060012250
    Abstract: The invention concerns a spectrometry system processing circuit comprising a particulate radiation detector (21), including a charge preamplifying stage (20) receiving a current (I1) from the sensor representing an amount of charges emitted by a particle which has interacted with the detector, and an integrator stage (26). A shunt stage (25) is connected between the charge preamplifying stage (20) and the integrator stage (26), the shunt stage (25) receiving a signal (V1) derived from the charge preamplifying stage (20) and delivering to the integrating stage (26) an image signal (V2) of the sensing current (I1), the integrator stage (26) delivering an image (V3) of the amount of charges emitted by a particle having interacted with the detector. The invention is applicable in particular to high-energy single-channel probes.
